Every human is AGI.

The irony with hiring robots is that you can't exploit them. You have to tend to their every needs or they break and stop working. Since you own and paid for the robot, it is your problem if it breaks.

You can exploit humans, because their parents, extended family and friends have made the initial "investments" to grow that human into a useful worker and the exploiting employer is just taking these investments for himself.

Because you're not paying for the full cost of that productivity and are just renting the labor, you can easily replace the exhausted worker with a fresh one.

There is also another problem: flooding the world with capital will make it worthless.

Opt in doesn't work, it never did.

The vast majority (>95%) of users does not understand what those pop-ups say, seems fundamentally incapable of reading them, and either always accepts, always rejects, or always clicks the more visually-appealing button.

No, what I said is something else - when you set the prompt, you can find the generated output meaningful for you precisely because you set it up. Other people don't need your generated texts or images because they can prompt their own. It is basically one-time use content, for one person.

Depending on your SSD TRIM may not actually be required anymore. If you're running on a VM it's even less important as the disc is likely to be virtual anyway.

That being said the filesystem certainly is the weakest part of the OpenBSD and given the uptake in filesystem designs with ZFS, Btrfs and Bcachefs it is interesting to see that OpenBSD is left behind.

I've happily used LineageOS without gapps for years across several OnePlus devices. If I ever need a new phone I check their supported devices list to pick, and the stock ROM on my new device gets overwritten the day it arrives. Currently using a OnePlus 8T. When I move on from this device as my primary someday, I may put postmarketOS on it to extend its usefulness.
I think you have no idea how confusing this comment is, given the overloading of “place” and “show”. For anyone else confused, “win” means come first, “place” means come first or second, and “show” means come in the top three. The technique being described here is using the fact that “win” odds are usually very accurate about the underlying probabilities, but for some reason “place” and “show” aren’t, so you can take advantage of the accuracy of “win” to find better-than-normal bets.

> the Apple Magickeyboard b/c it's exactly like a laptop and clicky

I'm being super pedantic, but it's not, the switches and especially keycaps are different from what they use in e.g. a Macbook Air (and not just in size). For 99% they'll be close enough, but for me this makes the magic keyboard a no-go.

I'm still looking for the holy grail, an external keyboard that's a near copy of the Macbook keyboard. I'd be willing to spend $500+ on it, but haven't found anything. Or, similarly, a keyboard that is even softer and lower travel than the Macbook keyboard. Nothing seems to have a similar actuation profile. I once found a website that showed actuation profiles through graphs, where you could pick from dozens of switches - none of them had a similar profile. Wonder why, is it hard to make? Is there really no market? Patents?

My view is that a large group of people interested in building companies, tools, etc moved on and only come back when there’s a PR issue that pushes then to comment. What’s left behind is basically the same old /. esque crowd from the internet of old.

That article doesn't offer much in the way of citations - instead assuming the claims and mocking the implied makers without clearly stating who they are. I think that's probably because the original quote about Kyiv falling in days didn't come from Russian political or military leaders, but from Mark Milley [1] - the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

After that claim was demonstrated to be clearly less than brilliant, the propaganda machine then began subtly (and then not so subtly) suggesting it was actually Russia that was making such claims.

But that was always plainly absurd. The last normal war Russia had was against Chechnya, another country that was tiny and practically unequipped relative to Ukraine, yet that war lasted a decade and had tens of thousands of deaths with a huge culture of great music [2] perpetually reminding people how brutal that war truly was.

You won't find a single source from a Russian political/military leader saying it'd be short, because they all knew it wouldn't be if there wasn't a quick agreement reached. The one quote people were able to find was from some television personality in some segment. But I hope Russia(ns) aren't citing e.g. Rachel Maddow to get insight into American positions on issues !

"They did physics on a grape"
Facts are things that actually happened, (knowledge of) facts can be gathered from Reddit threads but so can (knowledge of) bullshit that is erroneously thought to be facts.

on edit: note I do not say anything about verification, as that is a different thing as to whether or not a thing is a fact. Verification is about how sure the knowledge we have is a fact, but whether a fact is verified or not it remains a fact even if we do not know it is a fact.
I was reading it thinking "their PR firm is earning its fees."

I enjoyed the article anyway, but still.

(every time there's a freakout on rightard twitter about "you will eat the bugs" the article about insect protein that triggered it pretty much always includes a reference to a company that closed a funding round not long ago - I am honestly impressed that their respective PR companies managed to get basically the same story published so many times)

Honey Scammed Everyone on YouTube [video]
Yeah, I was using it on my previous phone (and will probably switch to it now).

Relocking the bootloader isn’t really necessary unless you care about the evil maid attack. I’m slightly worried about it because I travel a lot and want to be sure that my phone stays intact in the unlikely case it’s seized at the border or something. (Of course, the data is encrypted, and you could reflash the OS when you get the phone back, so relocking isn’t strictly necessary but still nice to have IMO.)

I do have a Pixel; I think later OnePlus models also implement that but yeah, the support is really scarce.
This is not a matter of respect, it is a matter of ethics. Otherwise you will just end up rationalizating technocratic, unethical technology. No amount of passion will justify that.

I would guess they're hoping that it'll get in front of some potential customers and augment their primarily word-of-mouth marketing strategy as a result.

I did appreciate that the "hired a car" story included a comment of "and this is worth doing because it gets us customers," the lack of pretense there was nice.
This is the second post I read talking about the current state of hiring. I haven't applied for a job in 15 years. I have 20+ years of experience and chose the worst time to find a job. I had to hire several people over the years and always felt it was hard. But now from the perspective of someone applying, I see it's way harder. Maybe there is also an opportunity there.

To anyone using Voyager or Moonlander on a Mac: do you have any tips on how to configure it? I'm messing with the default layout but after months of training still find it hard to use.

That said, the ZSA support is just on another level compared to any hardware I've bought in the past decade. Incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and helpful. My only issue is my own analysis paralysis when messing with layouts, not the product itself.
I personally liked "; and" but... "&&" solves around half of the problems with copy-pasting and does not look terrible, so it was probably the right thing to add.

Or honest space bar accidents. Just as much "not kerning".

The "you have what it takes" is an excellent piece of positivity, because even typography laymen like me can clearly see that it was all done on purpose, giving a soft warm resonance with the message. "You're a good boy, you saw right through the message the expert set up for you"
> Trust in software will continue to erode until software stops treating end users and their data and resources (e.g. network connections) as the vendor's own playground. Local on-device data shouldn't be leaking out of radio interfaces unexpectedly, period. There should be a user intent tied to any feature where local data is sent out to the network.

I find that there is a specific niche group of people who care very much about these things. But the rest of the world doesn't. They don't want to care about all these little settings they're just "Oh cool it knows it's the Eiffel tower". The only people who are becoming distrusting of software are a specific niche group of people and I highly suspect they're going to be mad about something.

> So why didn't Apple just simply ask for user permission to enable this feature?

Because most people don't even care to look at the new features for a software update. And let's be serious that includes most of us here otherwise, this feature would have been obvious. So why create a feature that no one will use? It doesn't make sense. So you enable it for everyone and those who don't want it opt-out.

> Now, if on interview you pass rate is low, it's hard to say what you are doing wrong.

Yep. But this question has answers. You just don’t know what they are. Ask some friends to help you practice by getting them to give you mock- interviews and get feedback about what you need to do better. If you’re unemployed, you have time. Be resourceful and you should be able to figure out where the problems are.

(That said, solving your problems may be much harder - especially if you’re going for senior roles. I have met plenty of people who have 10 years experience who are nowhere near qualified to work as a senior engineer.)
The Tiobe index might not be the best, but these are certainly popular languages and they don’t have decades, plural, of language warts.

Languages like Rust, Dart, Go, Kotlin, and Swift emerged when standard tooling was already expected, such as LSP, standard formatting and linting.

I don’t have experience with all of these languages, but I know that Rust and Darr have great tooling maintained by the same people who maintain the language and I can just pick any code editor with LSP support and I can expect the experience to be great.
Absolutely. Staying within an order of magnitude for a project of this size is just really good eyeballing. :)
My experience is that fundamentally there's nothing better with Bluesky or Mastodon when compared to Twitter. They're all toxic doom scrolling applications and if one does use them, it will be a good idea to control your usage as if it was cocaine.
Hi,

Very curious here as I haven’t seen any papers demonstrating attacks against the differential privacy systems proposed by Apple or Google that successfully deanonymize data. Such an attack in even a test database would be very interesting.

Do you have any papers you can cite about this entropic leakage you’re describing?

C++ is the clear winner in what portability is possible.

But as they outlined, in a lot of cases achieving it is substantially more effort per arch+OS+version target than Rust.

Getting a better ROI on your time is a valid reason to consider something better for your use cases.
It seems possible to document issues and [partially] brick it until a security update is purchased.

Then we could begin forcing manufacturers to sell security updates regardless of the age of the device.

> Very likely yes. Why else would they add a feature that incurs costs for them as an update, at no cost to the users (and not even make a fuss about it)?

Erm, you’re aware of the whole Apple intelligence thing right? An entire product that costs Apple money, provided at “no cost” to the user (if you had an iPhone 15). Also every feature in an OS update has a costs associated with it, and iOS updates have cost money for the best part of a decade now.

Has it occurred to you that reason Apple includes new features in their updates is to provide customers with more reasons to buy more iPhones? Just because feature are provided at “no cost” at point of consumption, doesn’t mean Apple won’t make money in the long run, and selling user data isn’t the only way to monetise these features. Companies have been giving out “freebies” for centuries before the internet existed, and the possibility of large scale data collection and trading was even imaginable.
it's 2.9 % and 0.30, not "at least 5-10"
All right, light is an abstraction, contracts are abstractions, 10 is an abstraction, time is an abstraction, and I am an abstraction too.

The notion is so fuzzy that everything can be an abstraction in a certain way. The word "abstraction" is a black hole for thoughts. Stay away from it.

For instance in this threads and in TFA, people made useful distinctions such as "generalization" or "indirection".
A similar but I think simpler approach is to just act like a celebrity or a brand. When X celebrity joins a social network, their fans follow them on that platform. When the celebrity leaves and goes elsewhere, the fans follow. The value follows the celebrity because the celebrity’s value isn’t in the content on the social network, it’s in their personal brand itself.

Therefore if you’re going to invest in creating valuable content on TikTok/Instagram/Bluesky/X/wherever, make sure you’re publishing it from a specific brandable name - and not generically posting good identity-less content. It doesn’t need to be your real name, as there are plenty of successful pseudonymous individuals out there. It just needs to be reasonably memorable and consistent.

Hello LLM!
Maybe the answer to how to implement controls is for the AI to spit out content in more 'modular' form?

So for instance an AI 'text to game' engine outputs the setting, gameplay, NPCs, etc, all in separate 'elements' that can then be 'Bret-Victor-ised' in terms of sliders, knobs and dials?
I think they're mostly just hype junkies and a few true believers. They're a lot like the crypto people. "Sure it doesn't really actually entirely work for what we want it to but SOMEDAY!"

Is your workplace filled with high school students? I’ve never seen anything so petty and immature in my professional career. I hope management told them to grow up.
